EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Garrison Surrenders" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by the English School in the 19th century, this print is a reproduction of a 14th-century miniature found in Histoire du Monde. It was later featured in Paul Lacroix's book, Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages. The scene depicted showcases the aftermath of a town's capture, as its garrison surrenders to their conquerors. The defenders are seen throwing themselves on the mercy of their captors amidst towering battlements and an atmosphere filled with defeat and surrender. This image beautifully captures both the despair of those who fought valiantly but were ultimately overcome and the triumph of those who emerged victorious from battle. With intricate details and expert craftsmanship, this lithograph transports us back to medieval times when warfare was commonplace. The soldiers portrayed here symbolize not only individual conquests but also larger themes such as war, conquest, and power struggles that shaped history. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the bravery displayed by both sides during these tumultuous times. It serves as a testament to human resilience while offering us insight into military tactics employed during sieges. Ken Welsh has masterfully preserved this piece through his fine art printing techniques so that future generations can appreciate its beauty and historical significance for years to come.
